“MiraCosta’s business classes helped
me learn how to market myself, deal
effectively with clients and manage
workers. Even though I already had a
bachelor’s degree when I started at MiraCosta, I learned
more about running my own business from MiraCosta
classes than I did in my previous undergraduate studies.”
